Just about 30 years ago.......

Just before I retired, I received a phone call at the office.
When I heard the voice on the other end of the call, I knew right away who it
was. It was a guy, I used to work with approx. 30 years ago. Soon as I heard him,
the first thing I said to him after all these years was, “what do you want to
do, sell me my bike back.” He started to laugh and said, “ actually, yes” I was
floored!


30 years prior, I sold my Electra Glide to him. Now, I got the chance to get her back!
Quicker than a prostitute could order, “cream of some young men” at a Chinese restaurant,
I smiled and said, “sure”.


I have had it in the shop going over it all. Needed some “updating”, shocks, solo  seat, rack, inner primary,
some re-plating,  front end plated, lowering kit, new rims,spokes, white walls, paint, (sprayed Rino) and some
other stuff. I stopped over to see the progress yesterday. I stuck my hand under the gas tank, pulled up on the S&S Carb
to choke it and fired it up. In a word sweet! Just have to acid wash the motor. Then, after 30 years,
she will be home again.
